Great place to learn but hectic with a lot of inefficiencies. If you can work in UHL you can work anywhere.

TransportBuses 301/304 stop outside. Materially easier than central Dublin.

Day to Day

Chill most days but dangerous level the lack of supervision and no direction, even as an experienced intern the stuff on that team was questionable, but undoubtedly a chill rotation. Expect little to no leave even in an emergency (Nasar Ali's team).
